Dive into the songwriting, musicianship, and production of some of the most influential popular music ever created. Kenneth Womack and Scott Freiman provide accessible, close readings of each song – based on cutting-edge Beatles research – and tackle hard-hitting questions: What were the song’s origins, and how was it written? How was the song transformed in the studio? What instruments were used and how did that impact the song’s arrangement?
In this revelatory assessment of the band’s artistic development from 1962 to 1966, you’ll discover the lyrical and musical elements that give these songs their magic and the techniques used by producer George Martin and engineers Norman Smith and Geoff Emerick that add that extra spark and bring these songs to fruition. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr – their unparalleled artistic journey as the Beatles is revealed here.
